You guys. Yoga pants. If you keep up with these rage-inducing news stories about banning yoga pants in school and men being under the impression that we wear them to be "teases," you know we're just straight-up asking for it when we wear yoga pants. Or leggings, or any other kind of pants, or skirts, or tops, or sneakers, or — well, anything, really. Are you wearing a turtleneck under a barrel with suspenders on it? You're asking for it, you big old skanq.

Yahoo Shine reports that a 15-year-old girl on her way to visit colleges with friends was slut-shamed by a TSA officer at the airport for wearing leggings. Shortly after the incident, she told her dad Mark Freudenfelder, who happens to be the founder of the website Boing Boing and used it as a platform to share the story.

"She said the officer was 'glaring' at her and mumbling. She said, 'Excuse me?' and he said, 'You're only 15, cover yourself!' in a hostile tone. She texted her parents: 'I'm furious! He was so rude and hostile. He made me feel like a slut.'" Understandably, Freudenfelder was furious.

Isn't it awesome and not creepy at all when strange adult men put their weird sexual bullshit onto young girls? Last time I checked, it's not in the TSA's job description to tell women to "cover up," and supervisors are supposedly investigating the matter after multiple Internet sources picked up the story. But even if this guy gets fired, this is all clearly symptomatic of rape culture: Women are still inherently blamed for "provoking" unwanted sexual attention and attacks no matter what they're wearing, from hijabs in Iran to leggings here. Ughhh, it's so f*cked. But props to Freudenfelder for being an awesome dad.
